Ahmad returned to the practice of intense scholarly work. He would work on the codification and systemic education and propagation of his ideas for the remainder of his life. During this period he undertook an intense study of Mahdist prophesy and the popular Islamic millenarianism that was going on. While having spent his life trying to emulate the prophet Muhammad, his comparisons turned toward lining himself up with the criteria of the prophesized Mahdi. This would lead him to the belief that he was the Mahdi. This element seemed to help tie together his ideals and ideas into an ideological system. With it he could balance vision of religious purification and desire for social reform, he could integrate his ideas into something he could regard as a justified pure understanding of Islam, and he could have a claim of authority for building a reform movement; since the Mahdi was the one prophesized to restore true Islam and establish justice on earth.

Another disagreement is that he was not Imam Mahdi as described in the light of Quran and Hadiths in Islam. Hazrat Imam Mahdi (R.A) will reappear at the place of Mecca (Makkah) in the last era before the Qayamah (the Day of Judgment).

The scene would be such that he would be surrounded completely by 313 of his most…

He is very much similar to the Jewish belief, in which Al-Mahdi will be a great soldier who will kill all those who are unjust, establish a society in which there is no injustices and people all believe in one God. Imam al-Mahdi is different than the Christian concept of a Messiah. He is a man who is not divine, but a prophet of God, who will bring the people together under one universal religion. Jesus, the Christian Messiah, was a gentle and kind…

A JAK/STAT signaling pathway sends signals from outside the cell into the gene promoters found on DNA. The JAK/STAT signaling pathway is essential to the development of T-lymphocyte development. On the other hand, when the JAK/STAT is activated when it should not be, autoimmune diseases arise. SOCS proteins are responsible for regulating the duration and intensity of JAK/STAT signaling. In Dr. Larkin’s research, he has concluded that SOCS1-KIR is able to suppress uveitis in experimental…
